Oh My Goodness! Pop.. you read my mind I would love to blog here... spread a little of this and that. I'll keep it clean.. honest.Sometimes I have trouble sleeping.. so this will be perfect to get my thoughts out of my head rolling around in there in all of that empty space. Now, I can place in somewhere. Not that anyone would really want to read it.. but I'll have a place to keep it and a place to come back and re read for my own self therapy. |

Since I am recording my thoughts here, I do not want to worry about grammar. Please forgive me for not taking the time to fix the mistakes as they are being made. Really just want them to be as they are. My trip out west really touched my heart. The pilgrims courage and tenacity to go out into a wilderness where there was so much unknown dangers ahead of them. What could have made an eastern family decide to move out to such unknown? A better life? What life? The animals themselves would be enough to frighten me off. They must have been made of something so much stronger than I know of. Like John Waynes movie.. "True Grit" comes to mind. The settlers that would take the chance of starving to death on homesteads. Their sod houses that were not even half the size of my bedroom, were so small. I cant imagine raising a herd of kids in such a small area. Are we so spoiled? Then I realize that maybe in a hundred years, people will look back at us.. and say.."I cant believe they lived that way.. I dont know how they did it." So maybe, it is all about what one is brought into. That is what makes people used to live that way. Can you imagine what George Washington would think if he were to come into our time of the world to visit.. what would he think? We would be full of witchcraft dont ya know. From our medicine, moving vehicles, electricity, computers, television, kindles, etc.. Think he would understand solar energy maybe a little more. Oh my.. I almost forgot plumbing. And yet.. the same emotional wants and needs that people had then.. they still have today. To belong, to be loved, to be appreciated. To be a part of something greater than ourselves. Just to matter.. to leave our footprint.. that we were here. Maybe this world would be a better place if we stopped thinking about our "own" place in this life.. and thought more of others and appreciating, loving and letting them know.. not in so many words actually but in our actions that they ARE leaving their footprint here..simply by just being here and allowing us the experience of their greatness. The beauty of Spirit overwhelms me. We all have that inside. If only we could see our own beauty.. we would know purity, love, and belonging. What a wonderful place to be. |

Hi Gin, Have had many thoughts about people in history and agree with you----I know I would miss plumbing---whenever we lose power I think of the past as we simply hit a switch and lights--stove, etc. I do wonder how they managed. I would imagine 1 day at a time as we do---it is definate that they worked constantly and faced so much more than we do but I think their connection to the earth and each other was probably deeper. On a daily basis they worked to put food on the table and care for their land. I can tell you that I have been to Amish country several times and the houses and the land are pristine. At one house there was a wagon in front with homemade root beer and a sign to pay 50 cents and a basket for the money. We can not conceive of this in our modern world----I met many of the Amish and they are hard working and have an air of peace. Would they trade that for MTV or HBO---bet not--- Glad that the trip was so wonderful for you--- |

Family, I want to thank you so much for allowing me to "blog" here. It is very eye opening. There is so much I have yet to learn. I'm really ashamed at some of the things that were on my mind. Its true that thoughts are things.. and what I thought about an Instructor, I shouldn't have. I am not sure if you read it or not..seeing as how you have been so busy..but I wrote some truly cynical and judgemental things about her. WOW....I'm going to assume you didn't read them because if you did..then you would have said something to me about it. There was so much anger in that blog that I had to delete it. Just knowing that blog was on this board that is given in such unconditional love really bothers me. I have sullied the purity of this site. There is so much work that I need to do on myself. Will I ever get it right?? If there is anything more difficult in my life .. it is my Own Self. My own ego that is blocking the way for my Spirit to do what needs to be done. Now that I look back, and read what I wrote..my head hangs down in shame. She was only doing what she could do. And I attacked her personally. Not in real life of course. Could never do that. But even though I didn't say those things to her.. I still thought those things. I do not know her background or her experiences of this life. It was terrible of me. No matter her appearance, or her disorganization or even the wrong material she brought to teach the two people in where there did not deserve the extreme lashing I gave her. There was something about her that I do not like about myself. Maybe she WAS my lesson. And I failed it. Somehow.. Even though I'm an adult..the Growing pains are becoming extremely difficult to bear. I dont know how to make up for it. If I were a Catholic, wouldn't I punish myself? I'm not sure.. If I were a Baptist, I'd ask for forgiveness. But, I'm neither. So the burden weighs on my heart that I mentally attacked a woman. Its not that I'm upset that proven myself to be human whom makes mistakes. I'm upset that I allowd my EGO to interfere with how I treat others. Very sad evening for me. Now, every day of my life...I will remember how my Egotisitical Spiritual Arrogance got in the way of something magical. Which is good. Because from now on.. hopefully when I get frustrated or feel disgusted, I will look at the situation and ask myself.."What is the REAL reason this person has a negative effect on me? Please forgive me for Posting such a terrible rendition of that experience on this board. I was way out of line. On the board.. and in my thought process. And Thank you Poppa.. I learned something New about myself. Not a good New.. but a New indeed. More for me to work on. I'll try to be more careful next time. Is there ever a time when we dont have to work on oursleves? Will our spirits ever be perfected? Will we ever be at-one-ment with our heavenly father? How in the world am I ever going to be able to help others heal..and grow closer to God... If I still have these issues? Why couldn't I see what I was doing WHILE I was doing them and not several days after? Only because I blogged my feelings on a site that I have true respect for. I reread my post.. and BLING.. there it was. My Arrogance and Judgmental EGO.. blaring in my face. Wow, the courage it takes to blog here is unreal. Doubly now that I know what could happen. I might have to face my faults all over again,,, reminding myself that No matter how much one reads, studies, practices unconditional love... it is still elusive for me 100percent of the time. The only excuse I can give is that I forgot and I Eged God Out. I am supposed to have already worked though the whole EGO thing..but this is an extremely Stark Reminder that work on myself is never going to be accomplished. Please accept my apologies for letting my self get in the way of the bountiful bliss of Our Family.. Gin . |

You have owned your error in judging and asked forgiveness put it down here and leave it Your Lords have already acknowledged your A.S.K. effort and request for understanding and forgiveness. ************* When still in corporate life had a fellow that worked for me that i had his access to inner office email blocked and all things had to be perused by his Team Leader. **************************************************** Our LOVE loves us with no reservation ***************************************************** Some things from the Christian Bible English Standard Version Jesus is speaking here. Mat 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. Mat 7:2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Mat 7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Mat 7:4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? Mat 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Mat 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. Mat 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Mat 7:8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Mat 7:9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Mat 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? Mat 7:11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Mat 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. Mat 7:14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Mat 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Mat 7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Mat 7:17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. Mat 7:18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Mat 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Mat 7:20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Mat 7:22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' Mat 7:23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' Mat 7:24 "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Mat 7:25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. Mat 7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. Mat 7:27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it." Mat 7:28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, Mat 7:29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. The tongue betrays us all Jam 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. Jam 3:2 For we all stumble in many ways, and if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. Jam 3:3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Jam 3:4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. Jam 3:5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! Jam 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. Jam 3:7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, Jam 3:8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Jam 3:9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. Jam 3:10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Jam 3:11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Jam 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. Jam 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. Jam 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. Jam 3:15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. Jam 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. Jam 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. Jam 3:18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. |

Hello Sweet Gin--- Poppa wants to comment on the text posted above. These statements of interaction with the people of that time are as equally applicable to us today. We all ---- repeat---ALL---- have moments of weakness throughout our life. Some will attempt to learn from the mistake some will not. But the fact that one may learn does not .......does not.......... mean there may not be another mistake similar or exactly as the previous. We brought perfection with us but lost it when we ejected from the mothers womb.
We are not perfect and must strive for perfection in this incarnation and perhaps more.......... be well you are loved........ blessing, peace, and love..........poppa Edited by PoppaCas, Jun 19 2009, 02:34 PM.

Thanks Poppa, You always know the right thing to say. The difficult part for me is the "striving" for perfection. Is it even Possible to reach perfection in our lifetime? Sometimes.. I just dont know what to do. I can catch myself thinking poorly about a person, or I can say something out of left field..out of anger or frustration.. not really meaning it.. but then when I look back at what I said or thought.. I will feel so bad about it. Just knowing that it is possible and that I do those things at times really bothers me. I know I'm not supposed to judge anything or anyone. But what if you just really dont like a person? Even if I dont say anything.. the thought is there. How does one Judge Not in everything? I know we are not supposed to judge others or ourselves.. but how DOES one go about getting to that point? That is the frustration. Afterwards I can acknowledge it.. but then I am judging myself for judging others. Sometimes, I catch myself judging others who are judging others.. and it continues, like a vicious cycle.Arrrr.. I dont know. Maybe it wasn't meant for me to reach that point in this lifetime. But, that doesn't take away the responsibility of knowledge.This life thing surely aint easy. ******************************************************************************************************** If I could, I'd take the vow of silence.. but then.. there are thoughts. I just can't be perfect. Guess you were right...I must accept myself , good and the bad.. just as the Holy family accepts me. Work towards being a better person humanistically. But still allowing myself the Unconditional Love that Mother has for us. I can't take that away from my spirit. I owe her much more than that. Especially since she has been through all of my mistakes and joys with me.

Now I am closer to understanding what SB or Francine said about our Spirits being so very brave and courageous to even be here. We open ourselves.. to Ourselves. Scary. |
